We chose the Allure because we have sailed on it's sister ship and had a great experience. We were not dissapointed. We loved everything about the Allure. The staff, all very friendly and helpful. The food great. The dining room was especially wonderful. Celinez was the best waitress we have ever enjoyed on a cruise, hands down. And Jerome the head waiter, fabulous and so kind. Whatever we asked ...
Pros:
Cabin attendant Derron for 6236 was helpful and intuitive of our needs. Always pleasant and polite.
Windjammer floor staff and supervisors were industrious and polite. Special note for Javon Colagado and supervisor Robeert H. Both very helpful with our special needs.
Bartenders and wait staff at the R Bar Deck 5 were outstanding and part of our daily routine.
Cleanliness of ...
This was my second cruise, but my first cruise was 23 years ago (when I was 13!) so it was effectively my first. It was also my husband's first cruise. We chose this sailing because of the onboard amenities on the ship and the itinerary. We were mainly looking for a relaxing, fun, care-free vacation, and that's what we got!
Ship: The Allure of the Seas is an incredible ship! There really is ...
I was told the entertainment on Royal Caribbean cruises are the best.
I must agree, the full production of Mama Mia, the Ice Show, the Water show, the comedians, the acrobats and aerialists were impressive.
Our cabin though only with an oceanview was spacious enough.
The cabin steward, David, was delightful and helpful with the ingress/egress for the different ports and loved his towel ...
Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines Know exactly what they are doing, right from the boarding, it was fast and efficient. The rooms are clean and well maintained, we were surprised to have vip perks which included a bottle of wine to enjoy on our deck overlooking Central Park. The entertainment is top notch and amazing, Mamma Mia, the Ice Games show, the aqua theatre show, the headliner show , the ...
We traveled with another couple and a had a wonderful time! First off the ship is amazing! We were at full capacity of 6,250 but you hardly ever felt crowded! There are so many things to do that it would be hard to get everything in. The food was great and the crew members at every level were courteous, helpful and well trained! One of our fears was getting a sickness from other people. EVERYWHERE ...
This was our first time cruising and we were all pleasantly surprised. We arrived in Ft. Lauderdale a day before because we were nervous about missing the boat...Lol.
Royal Caribbean exceeded our expectations in regards to customer service. Our daughters luggage was lost upon arrival and our stateroom attendant went out of her way to find it! We learned the hard way to make sure your luggage ...
We splurged and got the A1 suite with star class and royal genie. We were able to get a great deal which we will no longer be able to afford because the price has now doubled. We never ate at Windjammer or the main dining room, but instead dined at all of the specialty restaurants because they were included with the star class service. Even though we had three sea days, I still did not get to ...
Backgrounder for us: this was our 5th cruise overall and 4th with Royal Caribbean, but the first in this class of ship. This trip was all about the ship and avoiding winter for a week since we had already been to all the port stops. We also travelled with two kids - 3 & 5. I know, we're nuts!
The Allure is massive - there's just no other way around it - this ship is something to behold. The ...
I like getting so far out to sea that I cannot see land in any direction.. for a long time. To me a cruise doesn't need to be a worldly affair centered around drunkenness, glitzy shows, or other things that I'll regret later on. Some smaller ships, even yacht-size.. especially the ones with big sails like Windstar ships have really turn me on, but other times when I want to read or rest it just ...
